GovTech is an emerging technology sector that focuses on the use of digital solutions to improve the delivery of government services. It can be used to streamline processes, increase transparency, and reduce costs.

The Global GovTech Innovation Lab (GIL) is a joint venture between UCL and the US State Department that aims to explore how technology can best be used to serve citizens around the world. It is a nonprofit organization established in November 2016, in partnership with Accenture, Aptiv, Deloitte, Microsoft Corp., and Sprint Corporation.

Meila Digital has been an active member of the GIL since it’s inception, the team has been researching ways to develop actionable solutions for governments worldwide through collaboration of academic institutions, leading technology companies, and international impact investors.

With the help of government-backed tech tools, citizens can experience new opportunities to interact with their government and local communities.

GovTech also offers opportunities for public-private partnerships, allowing private companies to provide innovative solutions to government problems. By harnessing the power of data and technology, GovTech can help governments deliver better services faster and more efficiently.

Some use cases of GovTech are blockchain, cloud computing, smart government solutions, and digital identity.
